I’m starting out my blog by talking about how long the summertime was when I was little. We would gallop through the fields on our farm and head out as a family to country festivals where I grew up. We climbed trees and monkey bars, ran through sprinklers and played until dusk. Summer is about adventure and freedom and day dreaming. These days I feel fortunate to be able to perform for a living as a travelling ventriloquist with two puppets with a lot of energy and my stage manager Trish. Trish often remarks that the noise level of two talkative puppets and myself who have a hard time sitting still is often um…interesting to her as a driver. It’s pretty exciting when you’re a puppet who gets to perform and meet thousands of new friends every summer. Oh, those puppets!
